Is there an online stream of that?

This is a bit odd ?

Friend of mine was at the explosion site 5 minutes before it happened. Until we find out who did this, I'm going to withhold saying anything else other than this - enough is enough, an example must be made when the police/FBI etc catch who did this. Foreign or domestic, it does not matter. I do not know what that would be at all at this point, however something must be done to make anyone think twice before trying to mass murder people again. I realize that is easier said than done and anyone with a "cause" probably cares less about what happens to themselves than everyone else, but enough is enough

This is just in case people have not seen the video of the actual bombs going off.

This is what the UK experienced at the height of "The Troubles" in Northern Ireland with IRA bombings not uncommon on the UK mainland and even more regular in NI itself. You can imagine our reaction when we heard the IRA was drawing funding from NORAID - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediain the US.

One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. At least that's how NORAID supporters justified their stance.

Terrible to see my favourite, and, in my experience, the most civilised city in America attacked and hurt in this awful way. The humanity and generosity of spirit that characterise Bostonians will ensure that it recovers in time. Right now, however, our thoughts need to be with the injured and grieving.

Meanwhile, those lovable folks down in Greenboro Tn are blaming the tragedy on gay marriage. FFS.

Here is the sad fact nothing can be done to stop the violent behavior. If and when they catch this douchebag or the group of douchebags someone will find them to be heroes, we can execute them for treason or whatever the crime will be - they become martyrs. Leave them to rot in jail...but due to the high profile of the case might be stuck in solitary confinement and not with general population where these people could(should?) be someone's bitch! People will decide what they did was good but not good enough and start to do a copycat bombing. I wish there was another answer but there isn't...

The only way to deal with them is to ensure that they undergo the full due process of law and sentence them accordingly. Civilised behaviour is what separates us from those who randomly seek to murder and destroy.
